Sir Elton: The world lost an angel
SIR Elton John led the tributes to Diana, yesterday. The 70-year-old singer posted a picture on Instagram of them together, with the caption: ‘20 years ago today, the world lost an angel.
The pair were close friends and Sir Elton performed Goodbye England’s Rose, a reworked version of Candle In The Wind, at her funeral.
Elizabeth Emanuel, co-designer of her wedding dress in 1981, tweeted: ‘Thinking of the wonderful times we spent with Diana and the great joy she brought into our lives.’ Diana’s close friend Rosa Monckton described her in an interview with The Times as a ‘truly extraordinary woman’ who ‘busted the myth of being a fairytale princess’.
Former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter said: ‘Diana’s legacy is William and Harry. That’s it, they’re carrying on her work. She was a brilliant parent... they’re well-rounded.’
Supermodel Cindy Crawford posted a picture of herself with Diana at Kensington Palace. She wrote: ‘She was a class act. Remembering this inspiring woman today.’ PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER
